       “set-user-ID” mode processes, which use to determine  the  real-user-id
       of the process which invoked them.

       type int, instead of unsigned short.

       When your program is compiled in POSIX mode, the and functions return a
       value of type uid_t.  The and functions return a value of type gid_t.
